NEW CITY – A Rockland County grand jury has indicted a county corrections officer on additional felony charges stemming from a continuing investigation into criminal activity inside the county jail.
District Attorney Tom Walsh said John Kezek, 35, of Knoxville, Tennessee, formerly of Florida, New York, was indicted on two felony charges of criminal sexual act and official misconduct as a misdemeanor.
The charges were based on allegations made by a female victim who came into contact with Kezek while working in his official capacity.
Kezek was arraigned with bail set at $100,000. He was remanded to the county jail pending a future court appearance.
“The latest indictments of Mr. Kezek reveal an evil course of conduct, leaving the victims to put their lives back together,” said Walsh. “Rockland will not tolerate this horrific behavior.”
The DA asked anyone who may have been a victim, a witness, or have information about those incidents to contact his office with an anonymous tip by downloading the RocklandCO DA Tip 411 app (available in the APP store or Google Play) or contact local police. Persons may also text the keyword ROCKLANDCODA to 847411, type in their tip information and hit “send.”
